Check-Cap expects MBody AI merger to close within eight weeks
AI Summary
Check-Cap (MBAI) updated its timeline and now expects the shareholder-approved merger with MBody AI to close within the next eight weeks (by end of Q3 2026). The company filed a Form F-1 on July 24, says it has responded to all SEC comments and completed Nasdaq's initial review, but closing still requires Form F-1 effectiveness, final Nasdaq approval and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
